In 'Manufacturing Consent' he even goes after Jimmy Carter... generally considered, in leftist terms, to be a pretty acceptable president. He points out how the USA was complicit in genocide in East Timor under his administration.
I really dislike this term "Leftist". As a political term it covers a spectrum of ideas so broad as to be at odds with each other. I swear it is born of an attempt to control thought, to neuter "dangerous" ideas.In 'Manufacturing Consent' he even goes after Jimmy Carter... generally considered, in leftist terms, to be a pretty acceptable president.

Regarding Bernie... it isn't over.
Edit: Not by yourself Mr Handofdave. Just lamenting the popularity of the term.
